IBTS - I#4219 : pidgin: some plugins don't work

Details:

Hello,

Looks like Pidgin doesn't load several plug-ins:

$ pidgin --debug
...
(15:12:46) plugins: /usr/lib/purple-2/libymsg.so is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found. Does the plugin call the PURPLE_INIT_PLUGIN() macro?
(15:12:46) plugins: /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found. Does the plugin call the PURPLE_INIT_PLUGIN() macro?
(15:12:46) plugins: /usr/lib/purple-2/liboscar.so is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found. Does the plugin call the PURPLE_INIT_PLUGIN() macro?
...

And while you are there, could you please take a look at the 'meanwhile' (Lotus Sametime plug-in) package? Looks like it is not detected by pidgin if the package is installed to its default location (libs under /usr/lib/), but even if I move the libs to /usr/lib/purple-2/, I'm getting the above error.

Many thanks
LGee
